The Journey Museum & Learning Center is designed to “preserve, educate, and explore the heritage, cultures, and environment of the Black Hills region.” They accomplish this through four major prehistoric and historic collections. Each contributes to the entire story of the Western Great Plains from the viewpoints of the Lakota people and the pioneers who shaped its past to the scientists that currently study it. Guests can explore the SDSM&T Museum of Geology, SD Archaeological Research Center, Sioux Indian Museum, and Minnilusa Pioneer Museum onsite. The museums offer interactive experiences for visitors, such as the Wells Fargo Theater, Paleontology Tent, and Learning Lab.
